Hi Susan,

I was wondering if I could use frozen tofu and use the crock pot? Will the tofu have that meaty texture?

Also, do you have a recommendation for a recipe if using seiten?

Thanks! 🙂

A regular large pot will work just fine.

I don’t have a Dutch oven. Do you suggest any modifications in the recipe if I am making this in a regular large pot on the stove?

I was looking for some Vegan stew recipes and came across yours here. I couldn’t figure out which spices to use, and I saw poultry seasoning and thought, “Oh, that would be good.” Alas, I did not have any. However, I did just buy Trader Joe’s South African Smoke Seasoning Blend, and added some of that — worried I would ruin the whole pot of stew — but even though I am not used to that combination of spices, it actually was good. It gave a smokey/meaty flavor to it. I was very surprised.

Anyway, just thought I’d add that as a way to make it more typical stew-like. I only just saw the South African Smoke blend recently, and hope they continue to carry it. It’s worth a try, though.

Thanks for all your great recipes, Susan. I have bookmarked your site so that I can easily access it. 🙂

I made this with boca burger crumbles and omg so yummy. I also made your confetti cornbread to go with it. Heaven!

Forgot to add, I substituted cauliflower for the potatoes and left out the TVP, millet and red wine (I didn’t have any of the last three)

I added too many bay leaves and too much rosemary to this, so it had a weird flavor, but I could tell it would’ve been very good if I hadn’t done that
WIll definitely be making this again (and next time I’ll be more careful with the spices)
Thanks for the recipe

Made this tonight with Wild Rice instead of millet. It was delicious. I used garden veggie tempeh. I can’t wait to eat the left overs. Thank you Susan. I rely on your recipes all the time.

I prefer my vegan food to not have processed fake meat…I dont want to even pretend I’m eating meat,but that is just me. Plus I question processed food, period. This recipe has too much sodium and I’d skip the cornstarch. There are better more healthful recipes that are plant strong. 😉 not my favorite I’ve seen here.
